The new iron screw steamship Saxonia arrived at this port from Hamburg and Southampton yesterday morning. When off Sandy Hook she came in collision with the pilot boat Jacob A. Westervelt. “The pilot boat sunk, and John O'Keefe, one of the pilots on board, was drowned. The Saxonia left Southamp- ton on the 6th inst. The news, financial and com- mercial, was anticipated by the Arago with advices to the 7th inst., a full report of which was published in the Heratp yesterday morning. By the Saxonia we have a report of the imposing ceremony attend- ing the opening of the Boulevard de Sebastopol in Paris, with a copy of the speech made by Napoleon on the occasion. The simultaneous removal of Lord Howden and the Marquis de Turgot from the posts of British and French ambassadors at Madrid caused a sensation in that city. We publish to-day the will of Omini, with his last letter to the Emperor of Pranee. Our files from Australia, dated at Melbourne and Sydney on the 15th of February, inform us of the arrest-and committal to prison of three of the muti- neers and murderers of the ship Junior, of New Bed ford. After they left the ship in boats they made land along the coast, but were hunted out and cap- tured through the vigilance of the New South Wales police, aided by the United States Consul at Sydney. We have news from Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, to the 20th of February. Sir George Grey continued his tour of inspection in the eastern pro- vince. The population of the colony has been esti- mated at 00,000. In January fine fleece wool rated at 26. In Congress yesterday the Senate took up the Deficiency Appropriation bill, and Mr. Hale's amendment, providing that henceforth no con- tract be entered into by any officer of the government except under law or under an appropriation adequate to its fulfilment, was rejected by a vote of 21 to 30. General Houston explained his plan of establishing a protectorate over Mexico, and offered a resolution for the ap- pointment of a special committee on the subject ‘The resolution was ordered to be printed. A mo- tion to reconsider the vote whereby the Pacific Railroad bill was postponed was carried. In the House the Washington Police bill was laid on the table—110 to 79. A call was made for ali cor. reapondence with Chile, respecting the detention of American vessels at Talcabuano. Mayor Tiemann appeared yesterday before Mr, Justice Sutherland in the Supreme Court, to snow- cause why a warrant should not issue to compel him to give up the papers, &c., of the Street Commission- er's department. After hearing argaments on both sides, the learned Judge considered that the ques tion of the legal power of the Mayor under the char- ter to suspend Mr. Devlin should be determined, and adjourned the case to Saturday. Mr. Cooper, the new Street Commissioner, has no- tified all the subordinates in his department to leave. He intends to ship an entirely new crew. The ap- pointments will probably be announced in a day or two, The regular meeting of the Board of Ten Govern- ora was heid yesterday. From the reporta of the Wardens it appears that there are now 7,046 persons under the care of the Governors, being a decrease of 136 a6 compared with the preceding week. The $100,000 appropriated for the building of the Island hoepital is likely to create some trouble, growing out of the struggle among the members of the Board for the patronage it will occasion. There was a long debate about this matter at the last meeting, and it promises to be a bone of contention for some time to come. Meantime the work is to be prosecuted immediately, and a superintendent and deputy su perintendent were appointed yesterday. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday, John Loughlin, who caused the death of Dennis 0'Con- nell, on the Slet of March, by beating him, pleaded guilty of manslaughter in the fourth degree. Henry Jobneton, indicted for forgery in the » having passed counterfeit bills on the | City @f Boston, pleaded guilty to the fow that crime. George H. Hetner, charged with bar giary in the third degree, in breaking into the store of Morris Cobn, 181 Broadway, pleaded guilty of an attempt at grand larceny. Samuel Rich, tried for a felonious assault upon Diedrach Gottleman, was con- vieted of an assault with intent to do bodily harm. He, in company with two other men, having been refused drinks by the complainant, a barkeeper ina German grocery in Lewis street, fired a loaded pistol at Gottleman, who fortunately escaped without in- jury. Peter F. Dublier. indicted for an assault with intent to kill Mathias Gresser, by stabbing him with & knife, was convicted of an assault with a dangerous weapon, with intent to do bodily harm. Although it was proven that one of the stabs given by the prisoner perforated the lang of Gresser, the evidence failed to disclose any motive for the commiasion of the deed. Andrew Geneger and George Dushold were convicted of burglary in the third degree, having entered the store of Simon Pinner, 288 Grand street, on the night of the 11th ultimo, and stolen $360 worth of clothing. All the above prisoners will be sentenced on Saturday. Louisa Weigan was charged with throwing vitriol on Marthe Gates, which is an assault and battery; but the evidence being slight, the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty, The Karopean news received ship Arago led to increased Seawets hr eae helo which closed st tuliy 54¢. per 1b. advance.

The Legislature adjourned on Monday even- ing, having failed to pass the Canal Loan bill. We have eeldom had a Legislature which did so little for the public good as this one. At the opening of the session near a month was wasted in corrupt contests about the or- ganization, the whole point of the quarrel being asto which party should enjoy the beggarly Hittle offices in the Legislatare. The bulk of the remainder of the session was frittered away in foolish debates and frivolous squabbles among the members. Every few days the dulness of the performance was enlivened by a pitched battle between the Speaker and some of the members. When we come to compare the work of this Legislature with that of the last, we find that as citizens of New York we owe comparative gratitude to the body wbich has just adjourned. It has not robbed us of any of our rights, as the last Legislature did. It made no effort to instal Albany regencies here. For this much, let it be praised. In all else, it deserves blame. It did not pass the Canal Loan bill, as it ought to have done. It did not pass the Registry bill. It did not repeal the Metropolitan Police act, It did not repeal the usury laws. It did not effect any reform in the judiciary system, a8 we were led to expect it would. It did nothing toward improving the administration of justice in this city. Its record isa negative one. The only out-of-the-way measure which it seems to have accomplished was the insertion in the Appropriation bill of a clause to pay the cost of the fight between Devlin and Conover for the Street Commissioner's office. This is glory enough for one session. We are only surprised that another section did not provide for the payment of the other rowdy fights, and the reimbursement of all outlay made by the dead rabbits, &c. .In all probability, by the time it becomes @BBonadic to go tothe watering places, Go- ‘Weper King will call an extra session to con- sider the Canal Loan bill. It will then pass, and will be submitted to the people in Novem- ber. It might have been passed now had there been any large liberal views in the Legislature. Santa Anna AND Generat Concha—Crna axp Mexico.—From the private papers of Santa Anna and his emissarics, it appears that as far back as September last the illustrious exile was actively plotting and directing the revolution- ary movements of his confederates in view of his restoration to his old dictatorship. The sequel shows, however, that he counted without his host. To secure an early lodgment on his native soil once more, he required, like Koasuth, “financial and material aid;” and for these need- ful supplies he had made up his mind that General Concha, Captain-General of the “ever faithful island of Cuba,” was his man. So, ac- cording to the memorandum of Santa Anna upon the subject, we conclude that in his be- half application was made to General Concha for troops and transportation to aid the Mext- can Napoleon in his return from Elba to the “Halls of the Montezumas.”” But with all the devotion of Santa Anna to the Holy Catholic Church and to Spanish interests and the Spanish race, as illustrated in the revolution- ary programme of his partizans in Mexico, it seems that his applications, one and all, to Concha for assistance have been rejected. Concha, in fact, haa had other fish to fry; and has, no doubt, seen enough of Mexican revola- tions, especially where the ex-Dictator is con- cerned, to convince him that they are a bad in- vestment. Meantime, it oppears that all the fighting | factions of Mexico are reduced to that state of ne exhaustion which, to an observant out- pore of some ambition and the need Iresources, offers the highest temptation for a brilliant covp. General Concha, in this view, may conquer Mexico and annex it to the island of Cuba, if he pleases. But to make the opera tion eafe, he must first establish the absolute in- dependence, as a separate nationality, of the island, for our government would hardly tole- rate the re-annexation of Mexico to Caba as a dependency of Spain. Bat General Concha can | secure the independence of Cuba; and that done, he could, within ninety days, make a clean con- quest of Mexico; for what resistance could her divided, impoverished and exhausted factions offer against an invading force of ten thousand CubanSpani+h troops, well provided with all the means and munitions of war? Gen. Concha can do all this if he will. He can buy or conquer the independence of Caba. He can then annex Mexico, and make of it, with the important accession and citadel of Cuba, a powerful republic or a very respecta ble empire. We date say, too, that he might do all thie without opposition, official, or filibuster- ing from the United States. On the contrary, a newly organized, strong and orderly republic formed of Cuba and Mexico, would find a fast ally and a competent one in this country against all foreign intermeddlers. After a while, if the people of Mexico and Cuba should take it into their heads to come into the great North American Union, they would probably be adwitted. We say proba bly, because Gen Scott, after all, was about half right in declining the ceasion of the whole of Mexico, because of the difficulty of admitting to a footing of equality her mixed Spanish, Indian and nigger hybrids, to say nothing of pure Indians and niggers, with our own uoa- | duiteraied avd exclusively dominant white race. The subject is suggestive, in this view, of apything bat discouragement to Gen. Con- cha, for the moment we touch the nigger, and anything that is croreed with the nigger, Mexico becomes comewhat disgusting, and Cuba itself ie not without ite drawbacks. We submit this iden of the new blic to the serious consider- ation of Gen. Concha, including the advantages to the President of his winter palace in Havana avd bis summer house in the cool and gevial capital of Mexico, Revursions 4 Means or REFORM AND Pori- rication.—Evidently, the great use to which revulsions are to be put in the social economy of the world {s the purification and regenera- tion of the commercial and the general com- wupity. Everything, we know, down to the eburks and rattleenskes, bas ite use in tho economy of nature; financial revulsions are Lo exception to the rule. They lead to a season of repentance, heart-softening, reform ead amendment. fee be revulsion of 1825, which, for that time, was # very serious affeir indeed, there was quite ap awakening among the charches. People who bad been preached at without the least effect for @ quarter of a century, suddenly .acknow- ledged the workings of the Spirit, and gave public proof of their conversion. Morality re- ceived an equally signal impulse. Persons who, during the previous infistion, bad embarked in enterprises of doubtfal character, were now euddenly called to account; several were ac- tually indicted and tried for frauds which they bad committed during the excitement of the flush times, Such was the desire of the public to give material evidence of their reformed nature, and of their desire to promote a higher tone of integrity in the commercial world. So in 1837, The years of prostration which followed taat terrible catastrophe were the best years the church everhad. It is generally be- lieved in pious circles that the increase of church membership and the increased attendance on the gospel ministrations which took place at that time were caused by # spontaneous exhibition of the Lord’s bounty; the sceptical philosopher may be led, on a review of the facta, to ques- tion whether the Lord’s bounty would have been equally efficacious if the banks had not broken. It is certain that commercial morality was a gainer by the catastrophe of 1837, and that the trials for fraud which followed the break down were of service in purifying the commercial atmosphere for some time sfter- wards. We are now in the first stage of the effects of the revulsion of 1857. Religious revivals in every city throughout the North testify to the alarm felt by the commercial community ana to the ebundance of leisure which the stagna- tion of business affords them. Every street in New York claims the glory of one or two atart- ling conversions. Touching proofs of the powerful operations of the Spirit are afforded by the character of the converte, who are gene- rally either hopeless reprobates, incapable of getting a living, or persons engaged in trade who were ruined by the revalsion. It is grati- fying to perceive that Providence, whese care of his flock is well known, has already mani- fested his concern for these atray sheep; several of the worst cases have been supplied by pious friends with means to start in trade, and many insolvents have compromised with a tenacious creditor after a melting psalm. Morality is evidently a great gainer by the revulsion. Mr. Thomas Allibone is about to be made an example of, in the interests of honest bank management; others will doubtless ehare bis fate as soon aa all the accounts of the iufla- ion of the past ten years have been overhauled. Mayor Tiemann is purifying the city with iron will and iron hand. Lottery policy dealers, dealers in prohibited literature, gift enterprise manag- ers and the whole race of swindlers who infest the city are feeling the weight of his authority; in ashort while there is a chance that they will be all swept out of sight. The commercial world has grown honester; even Wall street has lately seen the operations of the bulla and bears legalized by act of the Legislature. When we talk of revulsions, then, let us in justice remember the good they leave after them as well asthe mischief they inflict while they are passing over us, 24% Thurlow Weed is very savage because we have ventilated some of his lobby operations, and particularly the Georgia job. Thurlow may rave as much as be pleases, but he cannot reach us We have no concern with anything but regular newspaper business, publishing the best journal at the cheapest rate, and receiving an advertising patronage, in a regular harvest way, far exceeding that of any newspaper published in the United States. Our aggregate receipts per annum reach seven hundred thousand dol- lars, which is more than the amount of revenue of one-third of the States of the Union, or most | of the European principalities. Thurlow Weed may figure in Castle Garden, Brunswick, and all sorts of legislative lobby jobs, but neither he nor any one else can touch our character or bu sipess reputation. | Srentirication or Tux Court or Arrrats.— | Our highest judicial tribunal—the Court of Ap- peale—has at length determined the difference betwixt “tweedledum and tweedledee.” The Metropolitan Police act, under which the police force of this city are chosen and regulated as the Governor and Senate at Albany may ap- point, was declared by the said Court last fall a | constitutional law; while, per contra, a few days ago the same Court of constitutional expounders unanimously declared that the appointment of our Street Commissioner by the Governor was outside of any constitutional authority. Who could have thought that this wonderful diffe- rence between a police commissioner and a street commissioner was covered up in our State con- stitution? Let us be thankful for the opporta- nity offered us of a new constitution, which can be interpreted upon the principles of common sense. We have had enough of this chameleon concern, which is white today, and may be black to-morrow, as Tom, Dick and Harry may decree. Wwat Next !—The defeat of the Forresters in the election of Sachems at Tammany Hall ren- ders it almost certain that a new Tammany will be built up town, with a separate and indepen- dent General Committee. It is stated that seve- ral black republicans were at Tammany on Monday night, and by their votes decided the question against the Forresters. We see no pros- pect for a union of the factions, and there will probably be four tickets in the field at the next State election. Who cares? #® Mr. Everett is making a great patriotic revolution in the South. He throws Walker and all the fillvueters catircly in the abade. _NEW-YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY,- APRIL . 21,: 1858, _ Evrorgan Avyams ww Op Vinooid.—Toe Richmond Enquirer. a iccgl paper published in the interior of Old Virginia, discusses very Jeornedly the subject of “ Murebal Pelissier ag Ambassador” from France to England; and witb the familiarity of an old diplomat talke of the “Napoleonic dynasty,” “conciliatory in- clinations,” “ Lord Palmerston,” “ Count Wa- lewski,” “Lord Derby,” “ Anglo French rela- tions,” and eo forth, through a whele column. But, strangely enough, we cannot find in this copy of our Virginia peper, the central organ of the Virginia democracy, an editorial syllable upon Kansas, Lecompton, Southern righta, or the “conciliatory inclinations’ of Governor Wise. This way of shirking the main question will never do.
